(FYI, I put this collage together with full size item photos, but the boxes will have samples).

What do you think of the May Birchbox spoilers? Any items you hope will be in your box? (Or hope won’t be in your box?) I was hoping to see some new brands in the spoilers this month, but hopefully there will still be some new brand discoveries this month – they are sampling over 50 products!

I really hope I get the Pixie lip product! I rarely use eye make up because of allergies and I have sensitive skin so I’m a bit obsessed with lip products.

Is it weird that the video bothers me? I never do personal grooming stuff in public so there’s something very odd about watching people put on BB cream on a city street. (The most I’ll do is retouch lipstick or brush my hair in my office when no one is around — I have my own office with a door I can shut.)

Or maybe it was that obnoxious song.

At any rate, would be glad to try most of the products previewed, except I think the BB cream will be too dark for me because I am the lightest foundation shade and I don’t go outside in the sun (family history of skin cancer) so my skin won’t darken this summer.

Does anyone know if Birchbox actually pays attention to changes in your profile? I re-signed up late last month and they sent me an April box. I liked it fairly well, but the products reminded me a lot of the past boxes that caused me to cancel. Of course, I may have gotten whatever was left at the end of the month because I signed up late. I guess May will tell; mine is already on its way.

I’ll be happy with any of those except for the shaving cream. Am I the only person who doesn’t have time to use a separate shaving cream in the shower? I received shaving cream in another box recently and just gave it to my husband because I know it’ll just sit in my shower unused until I toss it out.

We’ve got a good feeling about this month: Not only is everything coming into bloom, there’s never been a better time to join Birchbox. In addition to the 4–5 deluxe samples our subscribers get every month, we’ve slipped an exclusive Kate Spade Saturday offer into our May box!
